going into the weekend

Heading down to Charleston tonight for the JOhn Prine concert; opening act: Todd Snider. The roads look to be clear by then. Starting to hum some songs throughout the day - "i ain't hurtin' no body, ain't hurting no one." She is my everything- assuming he might break a string wailing away on that one. Wondering what songs will be included in the several song encore; and whether todd will likely come out for Paradise. How they work in some of the songs from the Mac Wiseman duet album these days. Whether he'll tell the story about the grumbly beans. Things like that. The solo set in the middle, finishing up with Sam Stone, and that's when Dave and Jason come back out. The bittersweet awareness when they break into Lake Marie, that that is such a great stirring song, but also that means the show is over (except for the encore). Good stuff.
